I was very troubled to see tail-gating going on in the parking lot of Kutis Funeral Home on Gravois Blvd. on a recent visit. The atmosphere was disrespectful, intimidating and prevented other visitors from parking their cars, which created a safety hazard for elderly visitors especially, who had to park on the street. I expressed my concern to a Kutis employee, and was told that "Mr. K. says it's OK as long as they don't bring it (alcohol) inside." Just because it's not illegal does not make it "OK."

When my mother died, Kutis is who handled her service. My father, brothers, and sister met with the staff to arrange things. I was still traveling to town. Once I did arrive, I was never treated as a member of her immediate family. The staff allowed a niece to constantly reach in and touch my mother's corpse, and they overall gave me the feeling of "we have your money now, we are done with the customer service".
The treatment was so bad, that I convinced my dad to go to a competitor. Nine years later, we had many compliments on how his funeral was handled.
I think most Catholics go with Kutis, and many locals go there as it is locally owned. But the competitors are still staffed by people who are Catholic, and who have spent their entire lives here in STL.
I would NOT recommend Kutis ever!

I can't help but feel like the place is a little trashy. Not sure why as it really is a pretty standard funeral home. Kutis is fairly large and offers a wide variety of services to fit the needs of families requiring their services. Most people will choose a funeral home based on location or prior experience. Just be aware that you don't have to get all your services through the funeral home. I would personally not use them for anyone I know but mainly because of location.
